Since the age of 40, it has been a high priority of mine to be fit and healthy. I have maintained that but my face has suffered as a result. I guess aging as well as smoking, drinking soda, tanning and eating unhealthy in my earlier years have certainly contributed as well. Ive had botox and a...

Suffice it to say I no longer look human in certain lighting. My cheeks were pumped sideways across my face with too much Perlane, exposing old Perlane that was formerly in my NLF. product does not seem to resorb in me. I have read about hyaurolondaise- not doing it. I am posting this to let...

I've been having Perlane done in the marionette lines (lines from the corners of my mouth to chin), a little in the parenthesis lines (the sides of my nose to the corners of my mouth), and around the mouth for 15 years or so. I have horrible hereditary lines around the mouth and this fixes them...

I hade 1ml of Restylane Perlane injected into my mid-face (not cheeks exactly but more towards the nose), Dr Lee said I had depletion of fat pads there and we should start with conservative amounts...It always can be added more later. He used canula, after he injected some , he inserted needle...

I have experience with fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptra, Voluma, Radiesse) over the course of the last 5 years. Some have been effective, others not (Sculptra). I have had some major bruising (Radiesse and Juvederm) and some "invisible" treatments (Perlane). My Perlane injections to my...

I went on a major exercise program and lost 20 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle. Although my body transformaton was great I lost a TON of volume in my face. If I would have known this weight loss would have had such a dramatic impact on my facial fat I would have never done this at the age...

This is part of an overall package of perlane I purchased (I've had my lips and cheeks done, and also now tear troughs), and only 0.2ml was used in each tear trough, but I will be going back in two weeks for the final additions.
I have had this procedure done before twice, using a needle, and...

I WILL NEVER GET PERLANE EVER AGAIN! IT WAS SUCH A WASTE OF MONEY AND LASTED LESS THAN A MONTH!!!!! It looks good in the picture, because my lip was swollen. By December 1st it was gone, my lip was normal, and I could not feel it in my lips. The first day, as in the picture, it looked good but...

I had gained a lot of weight and then lost it; unfortunately also lost the "good" face fat that held up my cheeks. Had awful nasolabial fold creases that were all I saw when I looked at pics of myself.
Went in for a consultation and the dr. suggested injecting a filler in my cheeks rather than...

I have noticed the formation of marionette lines over the last few years and decided to do something about them. I am 41 and after looking at family pictures I see everyone on my paternal side has them too. Yay me.
Went to a local medispa/plastic surgeons office that had a local office, but...

I love my fillers! I alternate between perlane and juvederm in my lips bc for me the perlane last longer and seems thicker but this can result in a little more of a bumpy feel. So thats why I use juvederm sometimes too, it's smoother but doesn't last as long and you get less per syringe...

I've been seeing Dr Crane for Botox injections for 5 years. My last visit ( 2/14/14 ) I added fillers also. Now I have an upper lip for the first time in 44 years! I had fillers injected into my NL folds and around my mouth. I never expected my mouth to be so lovely after.
Dr Crane has always...

I'm so glad I found Dr. Gross on here. I was looking for a quick painless way to enhance my lips just a little without looking ridiculous. He gave me the little plump that I wanted without making it too noticeable. He has a very gentle hand and likes to keep his work conservative. Can't wait for...

Ok so I chose to see my preferred plastic surgeon Dr Wayne to have perlane put in my cheeks to fill out lost volume and to add a little extra :)
I was extremely nervous and the staff is beyond nice. They make you feel so comfortable and welcome. First I had a topical numbing to my face and then...

Yesterday was my first under-eye filler experience. Let me begin by saying that if you're in the Midwest and choose to do fillers or lipo, then Dr. Damen in Chicago is the person you want to go with. He and his team are AMAZING.
I'm not going to trust my face and body to just anyone. Once you...

Well, I relied so much on these reviews that I wanted to make sure I post my own. I went for a consultation two weeks ago and went back today for the filler. I had 1 syringe of Perlane into each upper cheek area to help with that hollowed out area under the eye and then I also had botox in...

I had 0.8ml of Restylane L injected in tear troughs (0.4ml per eye) and a lot of Perlane in my cheek hollows (2.5ml on right side, 3.2ml on left side). I went to a dermatologist who only does esthetic procedures. The doctor originally estimated much less product for the cheeks. But while she...

I had jaw surgery may 4, 2012. As the swelling was going dwn i was loving my face. My lips were pouty, my face was full, i looked like Eva mendes. Now I look sick. I lost a significant amount of weigh. Im gaining weight in my body but not my face. My jaw is thin and long, my chin is chunky,...

I have had perlane in the past for my deep nasiofolds (marionette lines). The dr. always injected straight into the folds and I would see improvement, but still noticeable. I decided to try a new dr. at a medical "spa". He told me that injecting straight into the folds is the old school of...
